This month’s giveaway is for a product that I’ve been a fan of for quite some time — the CatVantage modular cat climbing tree. I first wrote about CatVantage back in March 2008 after seeing it at the Global Pet Expo, where it won second place in the New Product Showcase for its category.
CatVantage is a streamlined climbing tree that uses minimal floorspace. The modular design and spring mechanism allow for easy installation with ceilings up to 10 feet. The center post is made from 100% recycled PVC and the steps are carpet covered birch.
Congratulations to Laurel from Woodside, NY, winner of the Platform C Cat Tower from DKcat. Laurel’s three cats Shai Ming, Akira, and Bailey will love this beautiful handmade climbing tower. I’m sure they will make good use of it!
Thanks to Dani at DKcat for this awesome giveaway!
No, these aren’t photos, they are colored pencil drawings by artist Johnnie Scouten of The Illustrated Cat. Johnnie’s remarkable images are available as matted prints and on note cards. There are several different designs to choose from, each one equally amazing.

Not one, but FOUR lucky Moderncat readers will each win a set of 8 assorted note cards from The Illustrated Cat. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. One entry per person. The winners will be chosen in a random drawing on July 8. This giveaway is open to readers everywhere!

My cats love laser toys, so when we had the chance to test out the new BOLT automatic laser toy for cats from FroliCat I knew it would be a hit. This cool little device sits on the floor or on a table and automatically shines the laser beam in random patterns that keep kitty on the move. Other automatic laser toys I’ve tried just rotate the light in a repetitive pattern, but BOLT varies the pattern and the speed of the light to keep things interesting.
It has an automatic shutoff function that turns off the light after 15 minutes. You can adjust the slider on the top to project the light on nearby surfaces or farther away. The laser light can also be operated manually for more interaction with your cat while playing. Here’s a little video we made with our BOLT (make sure you have the sound on!):
(If you can’t see the video above in your email, click here to view it on the site.)
As with all laser toys, be careful not to aim the laser light directly into your cat’s eyes. BOLT can be purchased at the FroliCat website or at Amazon for $19.95. Requires 4 AA batteries, not included.
We have a BOLT laser toy to give away to one lucky moderncat who needs some exercise! Please leave a comment on this post to enter. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing on June 29. Sorry, but this one can only be shipped to addresses in the US.
The fabulous Cynthia Petrovic, creator of everyone’s favorite moderncat Red Tango, is offering another fab giveaway for Moderncat readers. This time you get to put your name in the hat for this sweet patent vinyl purse with front pocket and black and white striped interior. The bag has its own metal Red Tango badge plus Cynthia is throwing in a Red Tango mirror compact and pill box.
Cynthia will be exhibiting at Comic-Con 2009 to be held at the San Diego Convention Center July 22 - 26. This is your chance to meet her in person! If you’re in San Diego stop by and show her some Moderncat love! Check out all her other creations at tangoland.com.
Moderncat reader Lydia created this cool little kitty graphic based on her sassy moderncat Maddie. You can get Sassy Maddie on a T-shirt or on some notecards. Lydia even created a Sassy Maddie rubber stamp and 100% of the profits go to raise funds to finish off the cat house at Tenessee-based rescue organization, A Place to Bark and Meow.
You can win a set of six Sassy Maddie notecards! Just leave a comment on this post to enter. One lucky winner will be chosen in a random drawing on June 21.
And the winner is Curve! Another record-breaking vote with over 1000 entries, the majority liked Curve the best, although some of the other designs received quite a few votes, too. Perhaps Urban Pet Haus will make a few designs available. I received word that the Curve bed is expected to sell for $200 and pad colors are still being decided. I’ll be sure to post more about it when I get the details.

Here’s an awesome giveaway to start off the week! One lucky winner is going to receive a one-year supply of The World’s Best Cat Litter! And let me tell you, this product truly lives up to its name. WBCL is an all-natural cat litter made from whole-kernel corn, making it Earth-friendly on both ends of the cycle — corn is a renewable resource and it’s biodegradable. Not only is it good for the Earth, but it’s healthier and safer for you and your cats than traditional clay litter (see link below for more info on the dangers of clay litter).
To enter to win this great giveaway, please visit this special page at the WBCL site where you can sign-up to receive email updates from WBCL, plus there’s a discount coupon just for Moderncat readers. Then come back here and leave a comment on this post telling us what litter you currently use and what features of WBCL are most attractive to you. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing on May 17. One entry per person. Limited to addresses in the US. The winner will receive 12 - 7 lb. bags of Extra Strength WBCL to be delivered in two shipments of 6 bags each.

More information will follow on pricing and availability.
